OUR PARIS LETTER.
PARIS, AUGUST 10th

torial posters, delineating q dog
being operated upon by a vivisec-
zionist, nailed to plank, and hav-
ing as many tubes and cocks at
tached to its veins as a locomotive.
The bilf invited all who were the
adversaries of cutting up dogs and
rabbits, to assist at public meet
ing to denounce the scientists. The
Celestials being accused of a weak
ness for dog pie, may explain why
three crystal button members of the
Chinese Legation, were present;
there were q few cooks in their snow
white linen caps, jackets, and
aprons; it was as refreshing to look
at them in their costumes as almost
to eat an ice. They attended to re-
present another side of the vivisec-
ton. There was fair sprinkling
of medical students to uphold the
dignity of scientific research. About
800 persons assembled to hear Ma
dame Huot denounce the dissections
of Pasteur and his ilk. She had
quite an Amazonian escort Of the
ladies who are known to fame as
the representatives of some hobby;
such as Madlle. Auclerc, who OBJ
jects to ladies paying taxes till al
lowed the right to vote. Madame
de Valsayre, who advocates the ne
cessity of her sex being taught fenc-
ing, plus the right to dress in male
attire, to escape the masculine in
suits, &c.
Madame Huot is q determined
looking lady, in the full bloom of
womanhood at her side is her son,
who is down on the programme to
recite some stanzas by Hugo on the
"toad." His mamma is in full even
ing dress, and awaits the completion
of the lime light pictures, revealing
the torturing of dogs, rabbits,
guinea pigs, &C., by the vivisec-
tionists. Madame Huot then takes
the floor; since five months she has
become vegetarian; formerly as
thin as whipping post, she has
become as stout as Mrs. Fezziwig,
on green vegetables and pump
water, the latter filtered after the
process of her grand enemy Pas
teur. The students have an old
grudge against Madame Huot; she
employed an omnibus whistle on the
occasion of Claude Demands fune-
raj, to show her animosity against
the crueltes of his labaratory-life;
she has occasionally employed her
parasol and fan, as an Irishman his
shillelah, during public lectures on
experimental physiology at the Sor-
BORNE; so she is an out and outer
to be let alone.
Among the letters Of excuses, was
one from that terrible Communist,
Felix Pyat; had he been caught
sixteen years ago, Theirs would
have had him shot for his vivisec-
ZIONIST conduct towards the Abp. of
Paris, &c. Madame opens by a
quotation from Hugo: "Vivisection
is crime" "What says Claude
Bernardo" reply the students.
"Science," she retort, ''is guilty,
when it martyrises animals" care
they to be eaten?'' asks one of the
business cooks, foreseeing the craft
to be in danger. ''Vivisectionists
are assassins," exclaims the lect-
uress. "You insult our professors"
reply group of students. She was
now nervous, but calm. "Gentle
men, you invoke utility to justify
the holocaust of science, and the
sovereignty of the end the latter
is the doctrine of the Jesuits and
Escobar; on the principle of utility,
you would kill your father and mo-
ther; on the same principle I find
scoundrels, robbers, and idiots, less
useful, than the horse which draws
us, and the dog that defends u.s."
A frightful tumult followed; one
lady in an excited condition rose to
defend Madame Huot; the chair
man, a retired naval officer address,
ing her said: 81 love you Ma
dame" cries of shocking! shock
ing! "for your ideas, but must ask
to remain Quite.'
cit is personal interest constitutes
three-fourths of the motives of such
men as Paul Bert, and Pasteur, the
coward, who bolted from the cholera
plague at Marseille; | am more free
thinker and socialist than was ever
2. Bert, yet the doctrines of both
men are immoral" A second tumult
cnsned: one hystcrical young lady
rose, and shaking her fan exclaimed,
81 would like to poignard a WIS
ectionist!" The audience then imi-
tated the cries of all the animals in
creation, during which the three
Chinese officials gathered up their
petticoats and decamped by a side
door. Madame Huot stamped with
her pretty bronze-slippered feet;
struck the table with the handle of
her fan; a workman wished to as
cend the platform to speak: she
rushed and barred his progress; he
raised his cap and retired; a forlorn
hope of students made a rush at
another point they were met by
flying squadron of young girls, with
fans ready to brain the besiegers:
embrace one another and be
friends!" Shouted the funny folks:
